Stuart's first urban farm

We grow fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers right in the heart of Downtown Stuart. Our one-acre garden is small by most standards, but we use intensive planting techniques and vertical hydroponic towers to grow thousands of pounds of fresh produce each season.

Ground Floor Farm is the first urban farm in Stuart, established in 2014 on one lovely acre abutting Frazier Creek. We grow fresh market produce like salad mix, bunching greens, heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs, and tropical fruits. As an urban farm, we focus on growing food where the short distance from farm to customer makes a real difference.

In south Florida, our main growing season runs October through May. The hot summer weather makes it difficult to grow many of the traditional fruits and vegetables most customers are used to. But as we grow, it is our mission to educate our customer base and offer more regionally and seasonally appropriate crops to extend the season.

We battle pests and diseases with predatory insects, natural deterrents, physical barriers, regular scouting and culling, and a lot of squishing by hand. When these practices are insufficient, we use only organic-approved materials for pest control.

NO synthetic chemical pesticides, insecticides, or fungicides are ever used on our farm.
